Championship declaration! Arteta after the game: Champions teams always win when the scene is ugly

08 August 18th In the first round of the Premier League, Arsenal defeated Manchester United 1-0 away. After the game, Arsenal coach Arteta accepted a sideline interview with NBCSports.

Summary of the match

Artetta: "First of all, this result is incredible. We came here with the momentum created by new players to have a first fight. It is obviously an incredible feeling to be able to take away the victory.

" But at the same time, we are also humble because we know that the standards have not been met in other links. The reason we won is simple—settings, and how we react to turnovers, because some players have more and more abnormal turnovers today than they used to be. We reacted to it and won the game. ”

You are not far from winning the championship. This has been the case in the past few seasons. What do you think is the key factor for the final breakthrough this year?

Arteta: "Like today, when the team is not in its best form and still wins, this is a powerful declaration. Champions teams always win when the scene is ugly. ”

For a coach who advocates ball control and beautiful football, which one is more pleasant to you, 4-0 win or today’s game?

Arteta: "4-0. But as long as we are honest about what needs improvement, we can make progress very quickly. Of course, we will accept the result today. ”

We talked about new players, how do you evaluate Yorke?

Arteta: "Victor's pressing method is slightly different from ours, which can be felt in the first half. But he would adapt, and I think his performance was amazing, which brought us unprecedented threats and enriched our tactical play, which was great. ”

You have a strong bench that can rotate five players. How important is this?

Arteta: "We are starting to be able to solve the problems that arise in the game to end the game. Very satisfied, that's exactly what we need to see, and the players are willing to come forward and help us win the game. ”

You now have the team of players you like. Do you feel more pressure to win the championship?

Arteta: "Not different, because what we do is the same as other top teams. Those top teams that have won the championship in recent years have this configuration. This is the first time we are extremely proud of our current squad. Let's go all out. ”

Mickel, at the tactical level, do you think there will be more changes? Usually you will gradually adjust as the season goes. Will we see more changes this season?

Artetta: "We will see it." I was going to make some adjustments today, but in the opening few minutes we found some places that needed fine adjustments, but due to physical fitness reasons, we did not fully implement them. ”
